The OrchardsAn Essex holiday park in an idyllic setting

TYPICALLY HAVEN

Waterside escape with fishing and golf...

Lakes, mud flats, tinkling rivers – we’re surrounded by splashy sounds in Essex. And because our park is long and thin, everything is near the water. You can walk down from the sea wall to a sand and pebble beach. Or head to a favourite spot with your book. Do you love to indulge? Well, you’ve come to the right place. We have a restaurant and two takeaways. So tuck in!

Essex – great weather, top resorts

Essex has oodles of charm and history. We love the Victorian resort of Clacton-on-Sea. Or you might prefer to head inland and wander round the wild Beth Chatto gardens. But if you want to make yourself popular with the kids, take them to Colchester Zoo - just watch them roar with delight!
